@Miko: Ok, next time I have a chance I'll look around and try that.
@Quin: *facepalms* That does sound like more of your personality then depression. Heck, if a doctor said I was depressed and needed medication based on that fact, I would say "Then give me f$%^& pills for EMPATHY not depression you quack!" I myself am a super empathetic person and am easily upset because I absorb others emotions so well
@ the topic at hand: I've been through this before as well. When I was young, at first, people would tell my parents that I had ADHD. Well, my parents brushed it off because I obviously didn't have the H part of that equation, and my dad thought it was stupid that someone so young needed to take freaking pills for that, even though they had me on the medication for a little bit with no effect just to shut up the doctors.
Fourth grade was a bad year(for personal reasons), so I started having to go to a psychiatrist off and on, all in which I was needing no medication.
11th grade: All of a sudden my parents discuss to me about maybe having ADD, and I agreed as I noticed I couldn't pay attention worth a darn. Went to the doctor. Got meds. They didn't work. Surprise surprise. Doctor thinks I might be suffering from depression instead. My mother gets all teary eyed and wants me to take meds for it. For once in my life I stand up to her and tell her no, I do not want happy pills just because that the doctor thinks I'm too sad to pay attention to school. It's not my fault teachers are boring and can't keep my attention.
And, so now for my conclusion and opinion on the matter. Unless it's life threatening, or painful, don't have your kids pop pills for random crap until they are old enough to choose themselves, and if they do choose, support them with their choice. Odds are they are being what you all have said before, kids.
As for RLS, my mom has it, and all she does is put a bar of soap in her bed. Don't ask me how that helps, but it does, and without all the nasty side effects! *thumbs up and cheesy smile*
